    Hello,

    Would like some advice regarding the eventual replacement of my used up disc
    pads and disc *front*.

    I heard that it's better to have first quality as for the brake pads
    themselves (ceramic composition) and on the disc it's possible to use a
    lower 2nd grade type disc....

    Thanks!!

    Jason

    I always use OEM pads.

    If it's an automatic, I'd use top-grade brake parts. Rotor warping is
    not uncommon.

    If you search places like manhonda.com and others, you'll find
    reasonable prices on OEM rotors. I've heard as low as $30-40 per
    rotor for older Civics.

    When it comes to pads, I like OEM as well ... just don't go with cheap
    aftermarket parts. You'll get fade, poor wear rates, gobs of dust,
    etc ... Go with a high performance upgrade pad ... but NOT a full
    race pad which will perform poorly at cooler temps.
